Ye Jun's eyes turned green!

"What the heck, this sign-in system is way too generous! The reward for signing in at Kunlun Mountain is a Supreme Martial Art Treasure."

The Nine Revolutions Profound Art was the complete version of the Eight-Nine Profound Art!

The Eight-Nine Profound Art practiced by Yang Jian and the others wasn't even a tenth or a twentieth of this.

A smile returned to Ye Jun's face as he glanced in the direction where Dao Ancestor Hongjun had departed, tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"With this sign-in system, am I still afraid of not becoming a Great Being of the Primordial World?" Ye Jun clenched his fists tightly.

Relying on himself, Ye Jun could still become a top-tier Great Being!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun had scorned his Karma—he would settle that score!

Activating the Profound Art, Ye Jun plunged headlong into cultivation.

Kunlun Mountain enjoyed the reputation of being the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains in the Primordial World, and as Ye Jun cultivated within these mountains, his realm advanced day by day!

In the blink of an eye, countless trillions of years passed.

Then, one day, a sound like a Grand Bell and Great Drum suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

"This poor Daoist has attained the Dao and become a saint today. Thinking that the Primordial World knows not the Method of Becoming a Saint, I shall specially preach the Dao at the Purple Cloud Palace. All who are fated may come here to listen!"

The voice spread throughout the entire Primordial World. Amid their astonishment, everyone yearned to seek the Opportunity to Become a Saint at the Purple Cloud Palace.

On that day, in an unremarkable cave within Kunlun Mountain, a Monkey sat cross-legged.

This Monkey was naturally none other than Ye Jun, who had been cultivating painstakingly. At this moment, a golden light blazed above Ye Jun's head.

The Great Dao Laws swirled unceasingly around him, radiant clouds spilling forth in all directions!

Ye Jun exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi, slowly opened his eyes, and murmured to himself, "Hongjun has become a saint!"

Then he sensed his cultivation level—he had finally stepped into the realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

After that, he looked toward the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace.

He couldn't help but grumble inwardly, "As expected of Saintly Might—one sentence can stir the entire Primordial World."

"As for this preaching at the Purple Cloud Palace, just wait—I'll give that Dao Ancestor Hongjun a surprise!"

Ye Jun hadn't forgotten how Dao Ancestor Hongjun had looked down on his Origin!

This time, the opportunity had come!

Ever since Dao Ancestor Hongjun became a saint, several thousand cultivation Great Beings from the Primordial World had gathered outside the Purple Cloud Palace, all wanting to go in and listen to the Dao.

A saint preaching the Dao—such an opportunity was rare!

Ye Jun had also arrived here early. The Purple Cloud Palace was located within the Chaos.

To reach the Purple Cloud Palace, one had to pass through the World Barrier!

This was the first hurdle blocking the many listeners!

The World Barrier was like a giant protective shield, guarding the Primordial World from being destroyed by the wind, thunder, and Chaos Storms within the Chaos.

When Ye Jun slowly strolled up to the World Barrier, he saw that many Gods and Devils had already been waiting for some time.

The three figures at the very front had an immortal, otherworldly bearing—they were unmistakably the Three Pure Ones!

Beside the Three Pure Ones stood Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi of the Demon Race, their hands clasped behind their backs.

Looking a bit further off, the two monks Jieyin and Zhunti stood with their palms pressed together, neither sad nor joyful.

Around them were also some Great Beings who had already made a name for themselves in the Primordial World.

"As expected of a saint preaching the Dao—all the Great Beings of the Primordial World have gathered!" Ye Jun swept his gaze over them and understood everything.

In just this short while, many Gods and Devils had already tried crossing the Chaos and witnessed its terror. For a time, panic spread among the crowd.

Opportunities were important, but one also needed to live to enjoy them!

When Taishang Laojun, one of the Three Pure Ones, saw this, he gave a light snort. With a sweep of his sleeve, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda spun out with a clatter.

In an instant, it swelled to several hundred zhang in height, enveloping all three of the Pure Ones!

"Since you all are hesitating, we three poor Daoists will go first!"

After leaving these words, Taishang Laojun and the other two stepped into the World Barrier.

Though the Chaos Storm raged violently, it could not breach the protection of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda.

Before long, the Three Pure Ones had vanished into the Chaos!

"Eastern Emperor, let's go too," Di Jun said slowly.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi nodded. With a sweep of his sleeve, the Chaos Bell also enveloped the two of them. In a moment, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had also arrived safely.

Seeing that the Three Pure Ones and Di Jun's pair had all passed through the Chaos unscathed, the remaining Gods and Devils each displayed their own abilities and stepped into the Chaos.

Though some Gods and Devils perished in the Chaos, quite a few Great Beings made it through.

The moment Ye Jun set foot into the World Barrier, a familiar voice rang out in his mind.

"Ding~"

"Sign-in at the World Barrier task complete. Reward: Lei Xiao Sword!"

The moment the voice faded from his mind, a longsword appeared in Ye Jun's hand.

The blade was pitch-black, with lightning constantly coiling around it, the Thunder Dao Laws covering every inch.

Faintly, the Power of Wind and Thunder emanated from it.

With the Lei Xiao Sword in hand, the surrounding wind and thunder forces were all absorbed into the blade.

Ye Jun wore a smug expression. So what if this Chaos was fraught with danger?

With this sword, treading through Chaos was as easy as walking on flat ground—not a trace of peril in sight.

The moment Ye Jun appeared, he sensed something unusual about his surroundings.

Everyone's attention had turned to him. A monkey, actually able to pierce through the World Barrier?

Taishang Laojun gazed ahead with an air of serene detachment, while Yuanshi Tianzun swept a glance at Ye Jun before dismissing him.

A mere monkey—not worth the attention of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Tongtian, however, studied Ye Jun with keen interest, a thought crossing his mind.

"This monkey is no simple creature."

Ye Jun stood there, looking smug and self-satisfied, inwardly grumbling: "It's just Chaos, isn't it? What's all the fuss about?"

The crowd stared solemnly at the Purple Cloud Palace before them. It was ancient and majestic, surrounded by swirling purple mist.

At the foot of the palace, a flight of Dao Steps slowly materialized.

"Brothers, we three shall take the lead once more!" The Three Pure Ones wasted no words—when a saint Preached the Dao, securing the front seats was paramount.

Three figures stepped directly onto the Dao Steps.

"Hmph, the first to enter the Purple Cloud Palace will be us two." Di Jun snorted coldly, and together with Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they refused to fall behind.

"Well said. This poor Daoist shall go as well!" Jieyin and Zhunti chanted a Buddhist invocation and followed close behind.

In an instant, everyone scrambled to set foot on the Dao Steps. When a saint Preached the Dao, there were never enough seats.

The sooner they crossed these steps, the better their position!

If they could claim a spot at the front, wouldn't a great opportunity come their way?

Only Ye Jun stood with his arms crossed, shaking his head, unhurried and unbothered. "Isn't it just a staircase? Why make such a fuss?"

Spiritual Energy surged within him. With a flick of his sleeves, he shot forward like an arrow from a bowstring.

At the very front, the Three Pure Ones, with their profound cultivation and early advantage, led the pack.

Even the two from the Demon Race behind them, and those two bald monks from the Western World, couldn't catch up.

The golden, resplendent gates of the Purple Cloud Palace were already in sight!

"Brother, it seems we won't be the first to arrive after all!" Yuanshi Tianzun's face broke into a smile.

But before the words had even settled, before Taishang Laojun and Tongtian could react, a figure shot past them and landed firmly before the palace gates!
